Editing Rocket jumping (section)

===Other variations===
*A similar technique can often be performed with other explosives, such as [[grenades]], remotely detonated bombs or explosive objects in the level; depending on the game, these might be more, equally or less viable alternatives to rocket jumps.
*Some games offer weapons that knock the user back with their [[recoil]]. In the ''[[Unreal (video game series)|Unreal]]'' series of games, in addition to traditional rocket jumps, the weapons can be charged up for a powerful melee attack that can be aimed at the ground to boost the player. In ''[[Half-Life (video game)|Half-Life]]'' (1998), the [[Coilgun|Tau Cannon]] can be charged for a stronger attack that pushes the user back; in the multiplayer mode of the game, the weapon charges up faster, and the knockback is increased to a point where it can also be directed vertically, allowing players to use this as a form of mobility.<ref>{{Cite journal |author = Valve |author-link = Valve Corporation | year = 2002 | title = Half-Life SDK v2.3 }} <code>gauss.cpp</code> line 350: "In deathmatch, gauss can pop you up into the air.

Unlike the typical definition of rocket jumping, rocket riding does not rely on the use of knockback nor recoil. As a result, the argument can be made that rocket riding and rocket jumping are unrelated techniques from each other.
